I have read in other posts that the mounting holes are the same. You may want to do a search. Another solution would be the Craig Vetter snap in vents that would cost under $50.00 and have been time tested. Here is the link to them, along with a short video, just scroll down the page to find them.

I thought I had read something about the new style windshield exerting more force on the mounting brackets, and that Kawasaki had to beef up the mounting bracket/adjusting hardware in order to account for it.

In reality I don't know how much air will flow, but you could figure the area of the 2 circles and than compare that to the area of the 2015 vents and maybe come to your own conclusion. I believe that the 2015 and later windscreens along with the venting mechanism are fairly expensive unless you can find a used one on ebay.

The vent assy is attached to the windscreen via two steel brackets w/ AHCS bolts, two per side, and that windscreen assembly mounts to the brackets on your C14. That vent assy allows the vent to open and close with detent locks.

The vent, when opened, does allow noticeable air to flow through the windscreen.

The oem windscreen is taller than previous years, too tall for me, the vent vibrates and it's difficult to clean around the vent area.

I replaced the oem with a MRA Vario screen. I am a sport rider.

I had to purchase the older style rubber gaskets and appropriate hardware for adapting the MRA to the 2016.

In the lower half/center there is a "V" shape forming an inverted triangle. I cut out a section starting at the bottom of the "V" going up so that the horizontal cut line is approximately 4 inches long. I think it helped a lot, but that's just my subjective opinion.

If you do cut out the VStream be careful not to go to large. The idea is to create just enough laminar airflow to relieve back pressure not create turbulence. The other option is to raise the bottom edge but thats more difficult to calculate airflow since it's a variable opening depending on height setting.

Will the newer vented windshield fit on a 2013? It gets warm in the summer here and would like to have the vent.

Look into a `08-`09 stock windshield

Works great in the summer here in humid FL.

Look at the MRA Vario, smaller than the 08 & 09's. Lot's of smooth clean air!

I agree with Cliff. {don't tell him I sed that}Like he said, lots of smooth clean air.In the full up position/vent fully folded out, it keeps you amazing dry in a rain storm because of how it deflects the air. Almost as much coverage as a stock shield in up position,,, but way smaller...
